Projection: need to automatically qualify

Radford’s résumé is built on authoritative home wins over the likes of Coppin State and St. Francis but it lacks the kind of road or neutral victories that catch a selection committee’s eye. The nonconference slate featured a respectable trip to North Carolina yet was marred by heavy neutral-site losses at Wright State and Cleveland State and by difficult road nights at South Carolina and SMU, which have exposed an away-from-home weakness. The remaining conference stretch offers plenty of chances to pile up wins against familiar Big South opponents and a handful of hostile road tests at Winthrop and High Point where victories would meaningfully alter perception. Until Radford converts some of those road chances or knocks off a higher-profile foe away from campus, its profile will be defined by strong home dominance set against a soft overall body of work.
